Presley Photos From 50's Becoming Available, Elvis & Priscilla Barbie Dolls Unveiled


Behind the scenes photos of Elvis Presley from his October 26, 1956 appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show will soon be made available at VintageKingPictures.com (look for the site after August 18). The photos were taken by Richard Weede who was at the show and backstage because his father, Robert Weede was also appearing to promote his Broadway show The Most Happy Fella.

The photos have been in the younger Weedes garage and were only found in February 2007 by his own son. Included are shots of Presley talking with Sullivan who was instructing the singer not to do any of the hip shaking he had done during his previous performance on the show.

Meanwhile, here's a sneak peak at the upcoming Elvis and Priscilla Presley Barbie Dolls from Mattel. The couple is dressed in replicas of their wedding ware from 1967. Only 5,000 will be made available worldwide.
